Used to go to Shell at Bedok/East Coast purely because they have the drying machine leftover from the auto wash system. I find this drying machine good cause it lessen the water mark left behind due to not drying properly, especially around the side mirror. Sadly now no car wash equipped with such machine anymore..

will try the esso on one serangoon this morning.
definitely daytime better than night.
I guess you pay for what you get for.

just on places like fb / other review sites they all say petrol stations do bad job or the people who do it are ex-con who give threats if you try to take photo and show the bad job they did etc..

The 3 most horrible things that one can do to his cars are:

1) Let banglah use that dirty cloth that he used to wipe other cars to wipe yours. I rather don't wash for months than let them wipe my car :o

2) Park your car under the hot sun for 9 hours a day while U are at work. Your car interior will age triple fast :(

3) Do GrabHitch n let Dino trample your car. Sometimes neber stick to EJB kor kor's selection criteria n paid a price for it :s13:

Don't worry, it will not spoil the paint/clearcoat, it will just strip the wax and super clean the paint/clearcoat.
The spoiling part happens after that when there is no protection and subjected to the element.

IMHO, don't wash better - can accumulate a thick layer of dust as a "protective" barrier.
